Love the Japanese whiskey collection here. Very aligned with my taste on smooth and balanced whiskey. Also, the staff is super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Sometimes it just feel nice to hang out there and chat about boos. Highly recommended.

This wine shop is the best one! They have imported and local wines that you can buy at a very inexpensive price. This is the perfect place for me to hang out with friends or maybe loved ones. Some flavored chips and nuts were also offered. It was a very relaxing and quiet place. I highly recommend this wine shop to all of you.

Small selection of yummy hard to find beers . Not cheap but worth it. New stock on Thursdays. Lots of really fancy other alcohols and very friendly helpful staff. Safe protocols. Great potential Xmas presents.

I know most of the employees and the manager. By far best place to come to for laughs and getting recommendations for something new you want to try. All of the employees are highly knowledgeable on all drinks

Friendly staff and a very unique selection of liquors. If you are looking for something different than the same brands you find at every other liquor store this is a great place to try. The staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommended.

The store has a large selection of whiskeys that are only slightly more expensive than you might find at a location elsewhere in the Bay Area.I recommend working with their staff to help find the right whiskey for you as many of their bourbons and ryes come from manufacturers that take a liberal approach to marketing. Many of the whiskeys you might buy are actually quite mediocre, so be careful, and not as good as you would expect for the price.

This is a connoisseur stock of whiskey rum & h tequilas. Must say this Calvados collection is among the finest Ive seen in any shop in all my travels outside of France. Very reasonable prices and formitable versed staff. A delightful find

Review №22

Incrediblely knowledgeable and friendly employees, with reasonable prices. They share cellars between the various stores and a few bars they own, so are able to help you find some gems. As an example, I just picked up a Blantons for $80, when other places are already charging $150+ on the West Coast.Ill be back, great store!

I didnt buy anything at this store because I wasnt in the market. But I wish I had been, because it has one of the nicest selections of whiskey Ive ever come across. Tastefully presented, and the staff are super knowledgeable.

Review №25

Im a big fan of Cask! They have a huge selection of whiskey from around the world and their prices are pretty comparable to online stores. You wont find the big brand whiskey that you usually find at supermarkets here. A great place to buy a nice bottle of whiskey for yourself or as a gift. The staff is very friendly and willing to help you make the right choice. Gift wrapping and branding are available to personalized your bottles.

Review №26

Absolute excellent collection of whiskeys. Not recommended for 10:30am on a Saturday morning. Just no.We came here on a Saturday morning at 10:30am. I am not even sure if theyre open at that hour, but they have a shockingly excellent selection of whiskeys, bourbons, and all things 40% alcohol and above.Without going into subsequent consequences of coming in so early, I will say they do whiskey flights & tastings, and have excellent staff and friendly patrons. This is your thing if you love whiskey!

Review №27

I recently ordered three bottles of fairly hard-to-find bourbon from these guys. When I went to pick up the order, they told me that the bottles were supposed to be one-per-customer. When I offered to give the other two back, they said, No worries! Its your lucky day! Enjoy! and let me purchase the other two. I value that kind of relationship with a store and their staff, and I greatly look forward visiting them again soon.

This place is literally as good as it gets.Rare Scotch, Bourbon, Whisk(e)y, Brandy, Cognac, Tequila, Mescal, Gin, Vodka plus Russian River and Lost Abbey brews along with an eclectic selection of wine.My only regret is I dont already have a liver donor lined up for the inevitable case of cirrhosis thats around the corner after having discovered this place.

This place has all the good stuff! Seriously, if youre a whiskey fan, you should check it out. The prices are definitely on the high side, but the selection is impressive and the staff know their booze.

Review №35

I had a box of goodies shipped home to Denver after our week-long trip to San Francisco. The array of spirits that I had never seen before, or were rarely seen here, made searching out Cask very worthwhile. Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, and my box arrived within a few days. Excellent service!

All the right wines but the wrong years. You can go to get an idea of what names are good but wouldnt purchase unless youre in a pinch. Liquor selection looks impressive.

When is San Francisco if you are a bourbon drinker, be sure to visit Cask. Very knowledgeable staff and great selection. (Im sure they have other varieties of alcohol, but I only looked at their bourbon).I joined their bourbon club and really look forward to receiving my shipment every quarter. Called them to order some for a friend and they were most helpful in selecting what to send.

Every month or sooo I make a pilgrimage to cask... And I say pilgrimage because it is the holiest of holies for good booze.Whats really cool about this place is that while they have all the fancy stuff, you can still great an amazing small batch spirit at a great price. So far, they have yet to steer me wrong and I am starting to build a respectable collection of spirits. Thanks Cask! Keep up the friendly, approachable vibe and great selection.

Wait, you dont have a favorite Japanese whiskey? Just kidding. But seriously, the crew at Cask is so knowledgable and persuasive that you might have one soon. Cask carries a selection of fine libations inspired by the cocktail masters at Bourbon & Branch. Visit for a peek and leave with a wealth of knowledge on cocktail mixing, vintage bar, equipment and gentlemanly spirits. Prost!

Review №55

Not very impressed with their customer service and prices. Their selection is amazing, but over priced so if you can find it elsewhere I wouldnt buy it here (a $55 bottle cost $68 here). They are very good though for hard to find bottles, just be willing to pay the price. Also when I was there the person working there was very rude and unhelpful.
